More rally, classic cars, weather conditions (rain,snow) and new locations, officialy confirmed for DiRT3.
What's left to see, Is the percentage of rally VS off road stuff...
I guess It will be a 50%-50% this time.

although I didn't like dirt 2, that report makes dirt 3 sound pretty cool, as long as rallying is the main focus again.

Don't know If rally will be on the main focus, but since CM started using
the term 'rally' again, rally part of the game will be more proper.
Meanwhile, over 50 rally cars confirmed (!)

I think 50 different rally cars are too much;probably they sum up all the liveries too...
Maybe we're talking around 12-15 different car models of 4-5 liveries each.

Group B = win
Split screen = big win

Its looking so much better than the first two so far!

One thing that Codemasters have always done well is to represent the different eras of rallying. Just in CMR2 they had Mini, Stratos, 6R4, 205T16, Sierra Cosworth and a Delta. Dirt2 was a bit crappy with stuff like the Pontiac Solstice and BMW Z4 (anyone ever seen one of those in a stage?) but at least they had the MK2, RS200 and a perfect sounding 6R4.

Interesting that they've also got a WRC licence this time, bet Black Bean weren't too happy about that.

Suzuki Sx4 Hill Climb Special means that Hillclimb races return?

Some Interesting Info from Paul Coleman (DiRT 3 Senior Designer):

''We have different tyre types available which will affect how the cars handle on different surfaces.''

''We will not have a Track Editor in DiRT 3. We are investigating it for future titles though''

''We have some reversals and some overlap between rally stages. We avoid reusing the same bit of road as much as possible.''

''We are working on getting more rally into the game by increasing the number of stages in events.''
